Arraugh. So, I have Comcast service for internet access, but not television service. I have a TV, but I only use it for pre-recorded stuff \/ video games \/ etc. However, when I got home today I had a note hanging next to my garage which reads:<\/p>\n
While performing work in your neighborhood, it was determined that the cable TV line and\/or equipment inside your home does not meet technical specifications established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).<\/p>\n
The problem appears to be a leak of the cable TV signal. Signal leakage has the potential to cause interference with with aeronautical, police, and other communications. Comcast is required by the FCC to record and promptly repair signal leaks.<\/p>\n
Please call Comcast at 1-800-865-9787 to schedule an appointment for one of our technicians to repair the signal leak.<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you are unable to contact Comcast within three (3) business days, we will be required to interrupt your service until the necessary repairs can be made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, I called and told the operator that I only have internet service and then asked what should be done about the note. The operator then first told me that I should just ignore the note, since I don’t have TV service. When I reminded her that I have internet service and that the note says the service will be terminated if I don’t call, she put me on hold to talk to a supervisor.<\/p>\n
After she returned to the line we began to set up an appointment, but there were only 9am – 12pm or 12pm – 3pm windows open for technicians to visit, all the way through the end of March. Even better, the end of March is the furthest out she is able to schedule visits.<\/p>\n
Great, eh?<\/p>\n
So, she logged that I called and suggested that I just call back tomorrow and see if another slot is open.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure what to do now. Maybe wait and see if my service actually gets switched off? <sigh><\/p>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong> I rejiggered the wiring just inside the house so that there are no unterminated connections. Hopefully that will sort it out. The root issue may very well be my fault, but I’d hope that Comcast would have some more reasonable appointments available. Hopefully my service won’t be interrupted now that things should be sorted out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
